What can a pain management doctor do for you?

Living with chronic pain can affect every aspect of your life—from your ability to work and sleep, to how you move through daily activities and interact with loved ones. If you’re tired of relying on temporary fixes or over-the-counter medications that don’t address the root cause, it may be time to see a pain management specialist.

At Garden State Pain and Orthopedics, our board-certified pain management doctors are experts in diagnosing, treating, and preventing various types of acute and chronic pain. Their goal? To help you regain function, improve your quality of life, and find long-term relief tailored to your specific needs.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Personalized Plans

Pain is complex and often stems from more than one source. Whether you’re suffering from back pain, joint pain, nerve pain, or lingering discomfort after surgery or injury, a pain management doctor will begin with a thorough evaluation. This includes reviewing your medical history, performing a physical exam, and using advanced imaging or diagnostic tests to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms.

Once a diagnosis is made, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may combine several therapies for the best results.

Advanced Treatments Beyond Medication

Pain management is about more than just prescribing medication. Our team offers a wide range of non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments, including:

• Epidural steroid injections

• Joint and trigger point injections

• Radiofrequency ablation

• Spinal cord stimulation

• Nerve blocks

• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy

• Physical therapy and rehabilitation guidance

These treatments target pain at its source and are designed to reduce inflammation, block pain signals, and promote healing—without the need for invasive surgery.

A Whole-Body Approach to Pain Relief

Our physicians also consider lifestyle factors, mental health, and activity levels when designing your care plan. We believe in treating the whole person—not just the symptom—so you can return to doing what you love with less pain and more freedom.
